The Bavarians have a chance of winning the Bundesliga on Saturday against Hamburg, before locking horns with the Bianconeri, and the Germany star is looking forward to a crucial stage of the season.

"Of course I'm ready for Juventus. But before, we have to focus on Saturday's match against Hamburg and get a good result. Maybe we'll be able to win the league early, that would be superb," he told FCB News. "Juventus are a tough opponent. They have very experienced players among their ranks, which is especially important in the Champions League.

“We will give everything to secure a good result at home. However, I think it's gonna be a tight affair. At the end, I hope that we can prevail with our class and quality."
